Dot – aka Gloucester Quilter – has taken a break from the quilting machine to soak up some sun in Vieques, PR. The sunsets here are *almost* as nice as seen in the Gloucester Quilter webcam.

I have a big box of old postcards, and I realize that a few of them are from Gloucester, Mass. Perhaps your readers would like to see some of them. I’ll send you a few here. Maybe I can find some more in my big box. I’ll send them from time to time; if you like. My father was born in a house near the cut in 1919, and his father worked as a scientist for Mr. Hammond (of the castle);so I have a historical attachment to Gloucester.

I always think its amazing to see the changes that occur in just 100 years, and am glad to have the chance to study old pictures and share them when I can.

OK, we’ve waited for weeks — now it’s happening. Perfect day to get some sun and then head down to the Dog Bar for Michael O’Leary and friends at 5:30pm.

Watch the video, above, and see what you’re in for. Since it St. Pat’s week, we thought you might be thinking about Irish music — ergo perfect time to point out just how good Michael and his band are ALL YEAR LONG! He’s an excellent performer who captivates his audience in any venue so you feel like he’s right in your living room singing just for you.

I haven’t been to a Bruins game since 1996. My wife Cathy and I were invited to her sister Liz’s 40th birthday celebration yesterday at the Td Garden. Her Husband rented a premium box suite from his friend. I’m now officially spoiled. Unlimited food, beer, snacks, soft drinks and a private bathroom so you don’t have to deal with the Riff Raff. Not a bad Deal. $100 for two tickets. It would’ve cost more than that for one ticket in the stadium seats. Maybe us GMG Authors can get together next Bruins season and rent a box for the year.

Gil McCarthy, Rockport Council on Aging board member and Freda Collins,
